AMD Releases Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.6.1

btarunr · Jun 7, 2016

AMD today released the Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.6.1, just in time for two of the month's big game releases. The drivers come with optimizations for "Mirrors Edge: Catalyst" and "Paragon." The drivers also add CrossFire profiles for "Dark Souls III." The drivers address more instances of flickering noticed on CrossFire machines playing "Fallout 4," and performance drops in "DiRT Rally" in tracks with night/rainy settings.

"Battlefield™ 4 may experience crashes when using Mantle. As a work around users are suggested to switch to DirectX®11."

^ Your point being?

Can confirm bf4 is crashing when using mantle. I've switched back to dx11 and she's all good. Asus 290x dcu2oc

Hopefully this fixes some of my 7950 CF crashes :/

I have just installed a second R7 370 for a crossfire set up, and Farcry 4 does not want to run on CF. In fact, the game does not look right either, with weapons looking darker to a point that you can not see the details at all. I have tried tweaking the contrast and brightness in game and driver, but still it looks dark. Also FPS are low as just one card working.

BF4 was crashing and figured out it was because of Mantel. I don't know whats going on with AMD.

Unfortunately no. AMD has released some buggy drivers. The only game that runs good so far that I have tested is Crysis 3, and synthetic benchmarks, like Valley, Heaven, and 3DMark. All run great, except for BF4 and FC4, with both games running poorly.

Ppl bitched that others would post these new updates in the forums when @btarunr posts on the front page, but just for the hell of it could you post the change log for us opl that are on the move and not in front of the computer? That would be awesome.

Can't wait to give this one a go once im home. Christ are they ever going to fix the over clocking bull crap that's plagued us ever sence the first Crimson driver came out. It's a pain in the ass going non Crimson just to have a night of benching. Yes @amd #amd I'm talking to you!

Thank you, I didn't notice that because being mobile and on a phone why would I want to select D/L but fair enough thanks for pointing that out as that'll work just fine for me
